Section 118 - De-registration: compulsory
266.Subsection (1) gives the regulator the power to remove a body from the register, if it thinks that the body-
is no longer eligible (as provided for in sections 112 and 113)
has ceased to carry out activities, or
has ceased to exist.
267.Subsection (2) requires the regulator in the cases of subsection (1)(a) or (b) to take all reasonable steps to give the body it proposes to de-register 14 days’ notice of its action, and to consider any representations that the body may make during that period.
268.Subsection (3) requires the regulator to take all reasonable steps to inform a body that it has been deregistered on the grounds that it is no longer eligible for registration or has ceased to carry out activities. This will ensure that the body knows it no longer has to comply with regulation, though will still be required by section 172 to seek disposal consent (see section 186).
